You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+1%2Fx+-+2%2Fx%5E2-x+%2B+3%2Fx%5E3-x%5E2+ Common denominator is x^3 so you need to mulitply each one (top and bottom) by what's missing on the bottom
simplify
now keep the bottom and combine the tops
+%28x%5E2+-+2x-x%5E4%2B3-x%5E5%29%2Fx%5E3%29+ rearrange terms from largest to smallest

+%28-x%5E5-x%5E4%2Bx%5E2-2x%2B3%29%2Fx%5E3%29+ there is nothing else we can do after this point
